Fifteen years have elapsed since the publication of the seminal work establishing the association between risk variants in the Apolipoprotein L1 (APOL1) gene and kidney disease in individuals of African …
Background: Adenomyosis and endometriosis are complex, estrogen-dependent gynecological conditions increasingly diagnosed in adolescents. While traditionally considered diseases of reproductive-age women, emerging evidence suggests a possible developmental origin in some cases, …
Endometriosis affects a substantial number of women of reproductive age, yet current diagnostic methods rely on invasive procedures. To address this limitation, we investigated THBS1 as a potential biomarker and …
Endometriosis is a disease characterized by the presence of ectopic endometrium, mainly within the peritoneal cavity, and is associated with the development of inflammation due to cyclic endometrial alterations. The …
Immune-related factors may serve an important role in the development of endometriosis, considering the occurrence of substantial abnormalities in the immune system of women with endometriosis, including reduced T-cell reactivity …
Through a combination of single-cell/single-nucleus RNA-sequencing (sc/snRNA-seq) data analysis, immunohistochemistry, and primary macrophage studies, we have identified pathogenic macrophages characterized by TET3 overexpression (Toe-Macs) in three major human diseases associated …
Endometriosis is a prevalent chronic gynecological disorder. Globally, endometriosis affects approximately 5-10% of women of reproductive age, leading to symptoms such as dysmenorrhea, chronic pelvic pain, and infertility. While the …
Endometriosis, a chronic estrogen-dependent disorder defined by ectopic endometrial-like tissue growth, causes pelvic pain and infertility in reproductive-age women. Despite its prevalence, the underlying mechanisms driving lesion persistence and reproductive …
Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-dependent inflammatory disease characterized by the ectopic presence of endometrial-like tissue. Although genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified susceptibility variants, their tissue-specific regulatory impact remains poorly …
Previous studies have shown that patients with a history of endometriosis have an increased susceptibility for developing a big number of comorbidities, including various autoimmune diseases. Endometriosis is a complex, …
